Gayle century in vain as Rhinos advance

The star attraction of the tournament, Chris Gayle, ransacked an unbeaten 109 but ironically ended up on the losing side as Mid West Rhinos beat Matabeleland Tuskers by seven wickets. Brendan Taylor's unbeaten 75 turned out to be the matchwinning knock as the Rhinos registered their first win.

The Tuskers lost Tom Smith early and that brought Gayle and Paul Horton together for an unbroken stand of 166. Gayle smashed eight fours and seven sixes in his 59-ball knock. Horton remained unbeaten on 47, off 58 balls.

Is de Tuskers a Farm team for the WI team?

[BallOil]

Farm what? I'm sure Gayle making more money than the WI players... That was a quick ton, Tait was part of the bowling attack

Josh, any idea how much is Gayle contract for this competition?

Yeah. looks familiar, doesn't it? Gayle hits runs, and his team still loses....

Gayle's just using this 20/20 tournament as practice to get in shape for the bigger paydays later this year.

Gayle hit 45 from 34 balls, but the Tuskers lost their semi....

However, his team has another chance, when they play Eagles tomorrow in an IPL-style playoff system.

They should win second time around..

Even with Gayle on a team, despite his solid contributions with the bat, that team still loses. It's like Gayle just drags down the entire team just by his presence on the team alone.
